Big department stores (called \u201cGrands Magasins\u201d in French) are a must-see in Paris. Galeries Lafayette alone gets half its visitors from abroad. These stores made shopping fun and changed how people shop. Today, they have locations all over France\u2014and even in other countries.<\/p>\n

Located on Boulevard Haussmann, this department store is undoubtedly the most famous of all. It is the largest department store in Europe and the second largest in the world after Macy’s Herald Square, and has more than 37 million visitors a year.<\/p>\n

The store does not stop at shops; it also organizes important cultural events.<\/p>\n

For example, it is the creator of the Fashion Festival.<\/p>\n

The cupola building has seven floors, covering 45,000 m2. There you will find: fashion (with, of course, the famous Galerie Lafayette brand), beauty, accessories, watches and jewelry, shoes, children’s clothes and toys, and home goods.<\/p>\n

There is also a catering area as well as a roof terrace!<\/p>\n

My opinion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the history and architecture alone (incredible cupola and traditional Haussmannian building), this department store is worth a visit. The view from the roof is also breathtaking! It is also the ideal place for shopping as there is everything, spread over a wide price range.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
